About Self.me
Everything Led to This.
For years, we proved identity the way the world expected us to. Names, dates, credentials—checked, verified, and confirmed. We built a background screening empire, servicing 80% of the nation’s student nurses, ensuring that institutions could trust the identities of those entering the workforce.
We even built the nation’s first COVID-19 digital passport—adopted by universities, hospitals, and nursing programs across the country—proving, once again, that identity could be verified at scale when the world needed it most.
And yet, the deeper we went, the more we saw the flaw in the system.
Identity Was Never Truly Owned.
Identity wasn’t something a person controlled—it was something issued. It could be given, taken, approved, or denied at the discretion of someone else. Even institutions—those tasked with validating identity—were at the mercy of third parties, outdated models, and bureaucratic control.
We saw how the system worked from the inside, and we saw how it failed.
Identity Isn’t What You’ve Been Given. It’s What You’ve Done.
We built a clinical experience platform for student nurses, and in doing so, we uncovered something revolutionary:
Experiential identity is infinitely more powerful than institutional identity.
Unlike traditional identity—where documents, credentials, and approvals define a person’s worth—this model was different. It was proof of action, proof of skill, proof of existence.
It didn’t limit people. It empowered them. It revealed opportunity.
And so, we did something that most companies wouldn’t dare.
We sold the background check business.
Not because we were leaving identity behind.
Because we were going to build the future of it.
This is not a revision of the past.
This is a reclamation of what was never meant to be taken.
This is identity as it was always meant to be.
A Patent-Pending Vision for the Future of Identity
Identity should not be something a person has to ask permission for. It should be theirs, from the moment they create it. Our patent-pending approach to identity doesn’t rely on static credentials or institutional approval. Instead, it uses experience as the foundation of identity. It’s not just digital identity—it’s Self-Sovereign Digital Eternal Identity (SSDEI).
